** The production team [[https://www.startrek.com/article/cause-and-effect-25-years-later had hoped]] to get Creator/KirstieAlley to reprise her role as Lt. Saavik from ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'' for a cameo appearance behind Creator/KelseyGrammer (doubling as a CastingGag due to both having had main character roles in ''Series/{{Cheers}}'') but could not due to scheduling conflicts. If this had come to pass, and the dates used in the final version were not changed, this would have caused a fairly epic ContinuitySnarl, as 2278 is seven years ''before'' ''Star Trek II''.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Executive producer Rick Berman insisted that each time loop would have no reused footage. As a consequence director Jonathan Frakes had the cameras film scenes from multiple angles to make every scene appear different. Eventually the film crew started including odd angles such as the overhead shot of the conference room in the final loop. A case of TropesAreTools since fans (including Website/SFDebris) agree that the lack of reused footage helps set the episode apart from most GroundhogDayLoop stories.

** There were other design options for the ''Bozeman'' including a brand new design or even a ''TOS''-era ''Constitution''-class. Budget problems forced them to reuse the old ''Reliant'' model instead.
